Well, leaf is 22 days gravid and weighs 168g as of yesterday, shes moving all over her cage, peeking down at her sand bucket. Today she ate like 4 crickets as opposed to the 10 or so she ate yesterday. Her sides are bulging and i can see the eggs poppin out of her sides. I have a shower curtain around her cage so she cant see me and all is going well. Just wanting to make sure everything is going the way it should be and im not missing anything.

I have...

-Shower curtain pinned around her cage
-sand bucket about 10 inches deep(the sand holds a tunnel well)
-pothos plant inside the bucket with large leafy vines so she'll feel more secure

MY CONCERNS

- Will the mister coming on 3 times a day be an issue? They come on for 4 min now. once at 8:30, 12:30, 5:00. The lights turn on and off at 8. Will the misters cause her to abandon digging?

- Since her sand bucket fills most of the bottom of the cage, when she poops it go's into the bucket. I dont want to bother her obviously but what if theres poop on the sand? Is there a possibility she wont dig if she sees her poop down there?

- I have a webcam setup down in the bucket so i can see most of the surface of the sand. Should i just leave her alone without feeding her the next couple of days, then open it up to check to see if she laid? Cause if i dont witness her on the camera, i wont know if she laid or not unless i look around in there and look at her.

Im open to suggestions and lmk if im doing anything wrong so far.
